First time into over-clocking last year got myself a fancy looking but unsupported GSKILL 4266 kit without reading the small print along with a de-lidded 7700K pre-stress-tested to 4.8Ghz and a Z270G Gaming board (wanted a smaller form factor case) plus water cooling. It was all a bit of a learning curve and things are running smoothly, processor is over-clocked to 4.9 on 2 cores and 4.8 on the other 2 using the ASUS AI tweaker utility that auto tunes it for you.





However as you can see the memory runs very low (nearly half speed), I was never able to get XMP to work, PC just wouldnt boot if I had it set to XMP in the BIOS. I sort of gave up but then read on here a few people recommending disabling the ASUS "Multi Core Enhancement" feature and noticed I had it enabled. It has got my appetite whet to try and get the speed of the memory up to nearer its potential (although it seems that this board can't support its full speed).

Any other advice on which settings I should look at?

Thanks for reading









Edit: Got my Memory up to 3200MHz, wouldn't post with any higher value!
